Well done Reds

Greg Pope MP congratulates Accrington Stanley on beating Huddersfield Town in the final minutes of the game in the FA Cup match on Sunday. He said “It’s a brilliant result and I just want to say well done to John Coleman and his players. Bring on Bournemouth! It would be fantastic if Stanley could beat them and get into the third round proper – imagine what it would be like if they could get drawn against Man Utd, Blackburn Rovers or Burnley”

“Sunday’s result against Huddersfield Town shows that Stanley are capable of competing against clubs at a higher level. Let’s hope that the cup run spurs them on to aim for a play-off place in the league. If Stanley do well it’s not just good for the club it’s good for the town as well”
